so the stock market can live. We must all sacrifice some of our family members to avoid economic hardship. More people die from automobile accidents. What’s the problem with Coronavirus deaths?

The cure is worse than the disease. We must sacrifice people rather than close Wall Street!

His hysteria is rising as he pushes really hard.

49. Why close the barn door when the horse is 3 counties away?
Mon Mar 23, 2020, 08:25 PM
Mar 2020

The time for travel restrictions was late December. Umm, nope. While I agree with the decision to bring the cruise ship patients home, not supplying transport people and those checking them in with masks, goggles, and training was unconscionably stupid.

That's likely what opened the barn door, along with unrestricted travel. Remember, this is mostly spread by people with light symptoms or no symptoms.

It's here, it's going around, and there is nothing beyond personal behavior modification that is going to slow it down. Shutting down travel is just not going to work, not now. It's far too late for that.

He's a moron who refuses to listen to any experts because he thinks he knows everything.

Yeah, some people are going to die from this. Il Douche will likely skate, he always does.

Why do people always seem to refer to this virus in the future tense? It’s here now. We’re dealing with it now. People are dying now. So no, he’s not going to get a lot of people killed. It’s already happening. More than 500 so far.
